If you’re going online to find a valentine, be careful which websites you visit. You could end up thinking you’ve found Mr. Right or Miss Perfect, only to have the relationship go poof after you’ve paid the site’s fee.

Scambook, an online complaint resolution site, has received nearly 500 complaints about the website xDating.com, which allows members to sign up at no cost, see photos and receive flirtatious messages from “matches” with screen names like Ch3rrybox and Caprice69x.

“Our users say they’re bombarded by these messages when they sign up,” said Miranda Perry, Scambook staff writer. “They start getting messages from what they call these sexy singles.”

But members can’t chat online or see a detailed profile without paying for a premium membership, Perry said. “Once they pay, our users report that they stopped receiving messages and that the men or women who messaged them never reply back. They feel deceived.”

Other would-be lovers have complained to Scambook about SeniorPeopleMeet.com, for people ages 50 and older, and ChristianMingle.com, which claims to be for people interested in “Christian romance.”
